Hollyoaks has revealed that Amy Barnes’ husband Ryan Knight was the one to kill her earlier this year in a shocking flashback that saw him lash out as she threatened to expose his affair with Kyle Kelly. But what does this mean for Harry Thompson, who believes that he was the one to strike the killer blow?

Fans have been speculating for months over who the killer would be revealed as and Hollyoaks gave us a temporary resolution when they unmasked Harry as the assailant – only to chuck a further curveball and reveal that someone else came to finish Amy off after she survived her fall.

Tonight, at the end of a special episode that almost saw Tony Hutchinson tell Ryan that Harry killed Amy, we had a look at Amy’s real final moments and they saw Ryan try to help her with her head wound only for her to push him away.

She had discovered that he had cheated on her on their wedding day and as she threatened to come clean to everyone about his secret double life, he tried to silence her.

Actor Duncan James explained to Metro.co.uk that Ryan didn’t set out to kill Amy but held his hand over her face for too long. He added that he has been going through hell since and genuinely feels devastated at losing Amy.
